Any news?

As high as your jack and stands will allow. Nice to have as much room underneath as possible whilst disconnecting things like the propshaft and subframe bolts, etc.

This.

It's much easier to do so this way.

Top mounts, propshaft, wiring... annnnnnd drop.

Then you can do things at your leisure without having to double as a contortionist.

Interesting, ill look into it for sure. How high do you reckon the front end of my car has to be jacked up in order to have the clearance?

Re: My B6 S4 - Project Lemonade?

Id suggest pulling out the subframes and pulling everything out in one unit

Did some work on the B7 yesterday (thanks Terry and Sam!), man i didn't realize how big this motor was until i got the front end off of it! Once the front end was removed i was faced with a nasty surprise (literally), looks like i need to add valve cover gaskets to the shopping list. Anyways, this is the first car ive ever worked on that has an actual coolant drain plug right on the water pump! Unlike everything else on this car, that was a pleasant surprise. Speaking of surprises, after a few hours of peeking around the engine bay, labeling stuff and unplugging stuff the motors ready to be pulled... except after crawling under the car i discovered that my exhaust is one piece all the way from the end of the exhaust manifold to the rear sub frame.. So, instead of undoing some easy to access clamps right before the cats i now have to try to undo the bolts at the exhaust manifold... where there is minimal space, and the bolts are tight as hell... great.

So, here it sits for now, i gave up on trying to undo those bolts yesterday, just gonna be spraying them down with penetrative fluids for the next couple of days and try again next weekend.

From the pictures it looks like the passenger side aux. rad. might be leaking, its a common failure on those.

Shifter boot needs to go to the new car, it has a slushbox. And i think im gonna sell the fogs/grilles with the entire S4 front bumper.. speaking of which, dont you have a hole in yours

I'll pass. Heard how much you want for it all . If I buy a new bumper I'll be getting the dtm kit.

Re: My B6 S4 - Project Lemonade?

Spent a few hours tearing apart the B7 today with Taylor and Terry, made some pretty good progress.... SO MANY NUTS AND BOLTS!!! I'm definitely not used to this haha Anyways, somehow i managed to shatter the window while removing my rear door card. Oops... i swear i (kinda) know what I'm doing. Judging by all the over spray and stuff, i have concluded that this car was once dipped orange

To conclude, ive have found out that the only real difference between a VW and an Audi is the number of bolts holding them together Anyways.. onto the pics! (buy my stuff!!)

Re: My B6 S4 - Project Lemonade?

Back in my day (circa 2000) my insurance payment each month was $360-ish a month. My car payment was $276 a month. I was 20 years old, with NO claims, not a single accident and just because I was a male under 25 living in Alberta driving a two door car I got nailed.....Now that I'm 35, two kids and still not a single claim(Ive been in two accidents and neither were my fault) I pay $165 a month full coverage on two cars(2008 honda accord exl v6, and 2008 audi a3 3.2l). If you keep your nose clean, it will pay off down the road. I look forward to seeing your progress on this project! Wish I had half the amount of ambition you do when it comes to cars.
